NCT02340364

Brief Summary

The investigators are asking subjects to take part in the Patient NAVIgation to Reduce Readmissions among Black Men with Heart Disease (NAVI-HF) research study. This research study will test how well trained laypeople working as patient navigators will help patients recently hospitalized for heart failure avoid future hospitalizations. NAVI-HF is a new program sponsored by funding from the National Institute of Minority Health and Health Disparities. People who enter into the study will work with a patient navigator to undergo the full program or work with a trained layperson to receive general education on heart disease treatment and prevention. The purpose of the study is to determine whether a patient navigation program will be effective in reducing the number of hospitalizations in the future for program participants. This study will enroll 416 participants from UAB.
